We can’t thank Robert enough for helping us find our cat, Neko. After searching ourselves for 6 days, we felt completely lost and were starting to lose hope.

Robert was incredibly professional from the start, he thoroughly investigated the area, spoke with neighbours, and carried out an extensive search. What made the real difference was that he managed to obtain security camera footage showing where our cat was, which was an area we never would have considered looking.

Our cat is very nervous, so we didn’t expect to recover him the same day, but having that footage gave us a clear direction. After sitting out for a few nights to try and get him back, we eventually set up a trap with some tuna, and within 4 hours, we had him safely back.

We’re so grateful for Robert’s expertise and dedication, he truly made all the difference. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Rob for his professionalism and good attitude. Our cat was missing for 5 days, and he found her in a neighbourhood. Without him, the outcome would have been pretty grim. Very grateful!

Good service - Robert gave advice on how to find my missing cat before he had a slot to come out, which was useful. When he came out, he conducted two local searches - night-time and day-time - checked the road for evidence of an RTA and ruled out the possibility of being trapped in sheds in the area. Despite a 24-hour search, he didn't locate my cat, but he kept in touch before and after the search, and his reassuring assistance helped focus (and justify!) my own ongoing search, with the result that I found the cat five weeks later more than half a mile away.

We hired the Happy Tails Pet Detective when our beloved Cat went missing on Saturday 9th May 2026. Having initiated our own search, Robert arrived after another case on Thursday and was able to conduct a thorough day, evening and night search across the local neighbourhood.

Using his expertise, Robert was able to narrow down likely locations for the Cat whilst eliminating other locations in the area.

Robert helped raise the profile of our search with the local neighbourhood and was able to talk to residents in a way which made them happy to assist with access to gardens and garages.

Unfortunately the Happy Tails Team were unsuccessful in the search however with the given advice and guidance, we actually managed to find our Cat approximately 0.3 miles away 13 days later!

This is certainly a high trust service which may not always yield a happy ending however we certainly benefitted from the help and might not have found our Cat without it.

My cat had been missing for 3 days and I just decided to put pet detective in google as we were completely lost on what more to do. I was super lucky he could come a few hours later and he found her within 10 minutes after taking all the details from us.
It’s not the outcome we wanted but it was closure. We had put leaflets through the door and walk past many times the house at which she was found. She had been hit by a car and we would have never found her as she was behind shrubs in a garden.
I cannot thank Rob enough… we can mourn now and he also came with me to the vets . I wouldn’t have known to go there and buried her in the garden but now we she will be cremated and myself and 2 sons will always have her close to us.

Robert and his team made time for me and my little cat at very short notice and provided helpful advice and reassurance in the mean time. They were really accommodating of my circumstances and I really cared about helping me find my cat. Luckily he came home by himself before Robert could get to us so we didn’t end up using the search service. With this company it does feel like experience is on your side and reaching out helped me feel confident about having the best chance of finding my cat. Go raibh maith agaibh ❤️

Happy Tails Detective made time for me at very short notice to offer insightful advice to locate my deaf cat and happy to say we were reunited very soon after! My experience is of a very caring and empathetic approach and I would definitely use their services in future. Thanks so much!

Robert has helped us in trying to find our missing cat. He contacted me immediately after receiving my message requesting help, within the hour we had a plan, when to come down, what the search would entail etc.. At a time when I was stressed and at a loss at what to do Robert brought a calm, methodical approach to try and help me. Robert was in contact while travelling the long distance to us, keeping me fully updated, he then conducted his search which had clearly been thoroughly planned, keeping me updated throughout. Unfortunately, we could no locate our cat, however we are in such an incredibly rural area, the chances are so slim. He also spoke with neighbours and searches local barns. Robert remained in contact and then kindly asked his colleague to come down again at night to try and find our cat with night vision kit, sadly this was also unsuccessful. Robert has stayed in contact daily, provides advice and reassuring support throughout. Whilst we have not found Samuel, we still keep trying with Robert's support and we are truly grateful and at times when, as an owner, you are so upset, Robert is someone that listens and genuinely tries to help.

Gosh where do I begin…. One of our beautiful Maincoon was stolen. From the beginning we knew someone had taken her. 10 days in to her being lost someone mentioned happy tails detective. I messaged late that evening and after only 10 minutes Robert had called me. Within 24 hour he drove from Liverpool to Reading to start the investigation.

Him and his team worked HOURS, DAYS, WEEKS on our case. They went above and beyond to help find Crystal.

Anytime I needed to speak with Robert he answer any message or questions I had about Crystal and the investigation. He was extremely empathetic ( but also realistic ) and so supportive. I feel like I own this team my heart for finding our baby!

3 weeks later she was found! If it wasn’t for you guys we probably would have never found her!

If you know your animal had been stolen these are 100000% the people you NEED to contact.

Thank you team, for all your hard work!

Robert was immediately very focused on finding my dog Bonnie. Upon meeting him it was clear he knew exactly what to do and what options to explore. He was also very communicative and always kept me updated on what was going on. The search for Bonnie was a success and I can categorically say that Bonnie would not have been returned without Robert. My experience with him was second to none and I’m eternally grateful.

We lost our little Olive in October and hired Robert Kenny a month afterwards from a facebook recommendation (I didn't know Pet detectives existed prior to that). His fee was lower than a lot of the others and his response time was incredible. He called me straight up to organise when he could come- arriving the next day on Sunday morning after driving all the way from up north. He was very kind and obviously loves animals. He searched all the surrounding areas and personally looked in my neighbours sheds and gardens (I think this is quite difficult to ask so having someone in uniform requesting access was super helpful). We didn't have any luck finding her and there were no sightings. He subsquently organised 2 night searches and has been in touch and checking in ever since with new ideas and tactics. I really believe he's trying to help and I can't express how helpful it is having him lead the search especially when I was feeling so overwhelmed and helpless. Sometimes you just need someone to tell you what to do and reassure you that you're doing everything you can. I would recommend this service to anyone in need. He's made a huge difference even though we haven't yet got her back.

We hired Robert Kenny when our cat went missing. My husband, who was CID at the time was most impressed with his service from start to finish, as was I. We didn't know what to expect, never having used one before. Do not expect a Disneyesque character in Robert, he is a straight talking, no nonsense man who deals with the worst of human beings within his role. Social media found our cat whilst his investigation was under way. He wavered his fee to a cat charity because of this. Heaven forbid we lose another, but if we do, we would have NO hesitation in using this service again.

My Wife Left Our Dog Chester with Petsitters in November and while on a Walk he escaped the harness. We were on holidays in Tenerife and received the call a day later. We enlisted the help of Happytailsdetective.co.uk and thankfully they recovered Chester after a 9 hours search 4.3 Miles away. Excellent Service

Happytails cat detective are a professional caring company, going above and beyond to reunite your loving pet to come back home to you.I highly recommend recommend this caring company.

In the lead-up to Christmas, my wee heart was broken when my lovely cat Charlie went missing. I honestly didn’t know where to turn, but I’m so glad I found Robert from Happy Tails Detective.

From the very first message, he was kind, reassuring, and totally professional. He went above and beyond — even stayed an extra day without charging me just to help bring Charlie home. That kind of care and honesty is rare these days.

You can tell he genuinely loves animals and really cares about what he does. Thanks to him, we got our boy back safe and sound, and that meant the world to us, especially at Christmas time.

I can’t recommend Robert enough — reliable, kind, and an absolute star. If you’re ever in this awful situation, he’s the person you want helping you.

Forever grateful ❤️🐾

Don’t bother. The alleged pet detective is unprofessional and dishonest. Please do yourself a big favour by looking for your pet yourself and don’t trust this ‘company’. Also, he kept showing off about how much money he had. He couldn’t care less about your pet.

I am one of many vulnerable missing-pet owners who has had a deeply disappointing experience with this man.

Yes, his website highlights heartwarming reunion stories but my personal experience revealed a complete lack of compassion, which is shocking from someone who claims to be an animal lover helping others in crisis.

I was referred to him by a fellow pet owner and reached out for help. From the start, my email was barely read, my accessibility needs were dismissed, and I had to insist my request even reach "Robert," the senior pet detective. His response was a curt, transactional email: he would only conduct a four-hour search, quoting £620 including travel despite being locally based and despite their social media actively advertising 30% off feline services, which he ignored when I referenced it.

The message was clear: he wasn’t interested in helping us, just in quoting a fee he knew we couldn’t manage. It felt cold, dismissive, and profit-driven. Speaking later to the person who originally recommended him, even they admitted his attitude toward grieving pet owners was poor.

In a time of heartbreak, the last thing missing-pet owners need is someone who makes you feel like an inconvenience. I would not recommend putting your trust or your hard-earned money into his hands. Our family is still living the nightmare of our missing girl, and his lack of kindness only made that pain worse.

He may advertise compassion, but in my experience, he does not practice it.
